Clarification - UC San Diego Call for Graduate Applications

Hello, this post is a clarification of our posting of last week:

———————–

University of California, San Diego, Department of Visual Arts, is currently accepting applications
to its MFA program in Visual Arts and its PhD program in Art History, Theory & Criticism. Within the
MFA program, students may focus on digital media art, and within the PhD program they may focus on
digital theory and criticism.

Rated as one of the top graduate program in new media arts in the U.S., our program is also among
the largest, with eight full-time faculty. It is also one of the oldest: we started teaching
computer art in 1973. Today our research interests and teaching cover the full range of areas in
digital arts, including net art, software and generative art, online and live performance,
distributed virtual worlds, computer games, net activism and tactical media, critical engineering,
media installation, digital cinema, location based media. We also have a very strong commitment to
theory and a number of our faculty are known for their critical writing as well as their art
projects.

Since the new media track exists within the larger framework of the Visual Arts Department with its
thirty full-time faculty, graduate students benefit from access to top studio artists, media
artists, art and media historians teaching in the same department. We have close relationships with
a number of faculty in the Music department working on computer music, as well as top artists and
critics teaching in other new media programs in Southern California. The additional unique resources
available on campus to support faculty and student research include CRCA (Center for Research in
Computing and the Arts) and CAL-IT(2) (California Institute for Telecommunication and Information
Technology). CAL-IT(2)'s new building, which opens in the Spring of 2005, features one of the best
set of research labs and technical resources for digital arts work internationally - a unique
context and capacity to combine interdisciplinary research in art and science and engineering - as
well as a gallery, screening rooms, and studios for visiting artists and graduate students and
faculty.
